QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) \u2013 <\/strong>Nobel laureate Nadia Murad and American actress Angelina Jolie visited on Tuesday Yazidi projects in Sinjar (Shengal), in Iraq’s Nineveh Province, Rudaw reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murad hails from Kocho, a village in the Sinjar area, and is a survivor of ISIS genocide against the Yazidis. She was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2018 for her tireless advocacy efforts on behalf of Yazidis, particularly Yazidi women who were taken captive by ISIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People of Kocho are known to have been victims to one of the most appalling mass murders committed by ISIS militants at mid-August 2014 where elderly men and women were killed while boys were taken for recruitment and young women and girls for sex slavery. Murad is a case in point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 6.000 Yazidis were kidnapped by ISIS; 2.000 remain missing following the massacre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pair visited a number of reconstruction projects in the region, which is known as the Yazidi’s heartland. The projects included a hospital under construction and the ‘New Kocho’ village, which is to house Yazidi survivors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both women flew back to Baghdad and on to the US later in the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
